rushed for time.. do you microwave your eggs?

I scramble mine with a little water, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.(You can add salsa, any cheese, any veggies, or ham if you like.) Microwave about a minute with a stir at 30 seconds. I also poach eggs in the microwave. Heat a small amount of water for 1 minute, drop egg in, pierce the yolk, cover bowl with a saucer, microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on the microwave. (My new one is twice as fast as the old.) Pour off the water. I use a slotted spoon. Julia Child always put her poached eggs on a dish towel to get them really dry. Paper towels work too.

I found this receipt on MFP. I usually have breakfast at work and these do the trick. I added mushrooms and a few black olives to the batch I made:

I make these and freeze them in freezer bags 2 in each. takes only a minute to nuke them and away you go!


1 onion
1 green pepper
4 cloves garlic
1TBSP olive oil
1 cup frozen or fresh spinach
12 eggs
1 cup fat reduced mozzarella cheese
3 TBSP bacon bits

Chop garlic and saute in oil. In the meantime chop the spinach, onion and green pepper. When garlic starts to turn light brown add green pepper, onion and spinach. Cook til spinach is done. Set aside to cool.
In seperate bowl, whip eggs, cheese and bacon bits. when veggies cooled add them to this.
Mix together. Spoon into muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake approx 20 mins in 350F preheated oven

When I don't have time to cook my eggs in the morning, I just don't eat any. Same for any other meal during the day.

Going a few hours with a few hundred fewer calories is not a problem (and may even be healthy).

I have done it but I am not super thrilled with the texture...
Sometimes I'll cook them in a pan the night before and just warm them in the microwave the next morning. I also keep hard boiled eggs on hand in the fridge for emergencies.

I used to always use a pan but then someone (on here actually) told me a fast way to make scrambled eggs-take some cheese (I use laughing cow wedges) and eggs and put them in the microwave in a cup for 60 seconds. Very yummy and done fast!

scramble, put in ceramic bowl, hit the one minute quickset, consume. I usually put mine on a bagel thin with a slice of cheese.

I break one large egg in a saucer, break yolk and scramble with fork, microwave for 1.10, place the egg on an english muffin with a chicken sausage patty (also cooked in the uwave)...Filling...

If you dont want to scramble them and want sunny side..spray the microwaveable container, crack the egg, with a fork carefully poke the yolk twice in intersecting lines (it prevents the yolk from exploding) and the microwave at 60-70% heat for 45 seconds or longer depending on consistency desired.

I hardboil a dozen every Sunday and then if I don't have time to cook in the morning I just eat one of those. My kids like them too.

I microwave them scrambled. Easy peasy. & then I top them with cinnamon.

I've been making microwaved eggs for lunch all week! I use 3 eggs, salsa, and cheese. I just mix them together and microwave in a bowl for about 1:40, stirring occasionally. They are super easy, quick, and healthy! Only 300 cals and 21g of protein. Perfection.

Never try to microwave an egg in the shell. That is all.

I microwae them when I eat them during the week. If I have them on the weekend, i'll usually make them in a pan because they just taste better that way. Basically I put one egg in a bowl (spray some cooking spray first) and microwave it for about a minute on medium heat. easy.
